I’m finding Primal almost unusable this past week. Why are so many posts in my feed showing the raw note IDs instead of rendering the quoted note? Is this happening for anyone else on Primal? The quoted notes render fine in other clients. nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr

Additionally having trouble tagging users in Primal. Posting this from Nostur because it just works.

Same. I honestly forgot if they used to render these or not.

I've always had issues with Primal. Ameythst and Damus are the go to for mobile clients. Primal.net is fine for a web client.

Primal has been working great for me up until this past week. It frequently sits spinning/loading and then these other issues I mentioned. Have to force close and reopen frequently. Pretty frustrating.

Anytime someone tells me they are having trouble zapping me I ask which client, and the answer is always Primal.

yeah,I notice this too,the device should look into this

No issues with Primal for me

Android or iOS?

iOS

I’m having this issue. It also wouldn’t update my feed for 48 hours over last weekend

😅😅

I can confirm.

I had this happen to me a few weeks ago. Honestly thought it was my network/VPN.

I thought it was just normal.

It’s like 20-30% of the quoted notes in my feed showing like this. I don’t remember having that issue before.

It’s probably closer to 5% in my feed. I should see if it’s the same on Damus.

Im new here so I thought it was normal too haha

Yes saw another person mention this

👋

It seemed to start happening around the same time as the reply guy spam, but I don’t know how/why that would affect quoted notes rendering. 🤷‍♂️

Happening with my primal ios

I've gotten the same thing.

There is always so much lag with primal. It looks nice, but it doesn’t load well.

That has been worse the past week or so too. I wonder if it’s all related to the reply guy spam bots? 🤷‍♂️

Same for me

notprimal.lol is the way

If only it was a mobile app. nostr:npub1vp8fdcyejd4pqjyrjk9sgz68vuhq7pyvnzk8j0ehlljvwgp8n6eqsrnpsw 👀

seems to be a relay problem

Use a laptop 😂

This is how you use Nostr like a boss 😂

😂

Probably. One phone 📱 ain’t cutting the cheese 🧀

I have 2 phones 😂

This is the way. One day I’ll up my game. Maybe 🤔 probably not. Depends 🤣😂🙏🤪

One of my phones is a hella busted iPhone XR though

Basic works best … usually. 🤣🫡🙏

Funny thing I still use that as my main phone even though my pixel 6 is nicer 😂

Main* we are laughing 😆

I’m basically this guy so whoever knows WTF 😳 I’ll do next. 🤣🫡🤪😆☮️

Their relay sucks and SpAm P rEVenTiOn made it worse

Same problem here

yes on web

Same here

Same here on Android.

Same.

Yes it’s been getting worse

I keep seeing repeat posts while I scroll down on the Trending pages. nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg

same on iOS

Nostur 🚶

Same for me, been wondering what that was

are you still having problems?

Yes

I see them now. been using a fork for awhile.

Mine has been fine, but I only use it first thing in the morning generally.

I've had these issues before. Not so much lately. Strange relay issue I guess.

Jump over to snort.social

Working good

Yes same here. It’s been that way for a while for me

Had them as well, seems sporadic

I’ve been having the same issue.

I thought it was like some kinda new way to post things and I missed the boat. I see it half the time

Same here, for me its totally unstable now and i started using Damus.

Tbh it lot of faster

Damus seems to work better for me. I encountered that issue as well though

It’s almost unusable and this point.

Yes all of the above issues happening. I saw Miljan rely to a note the other day saying they were releasing an update soon. Hopefully will fix these bugs 🤞

same!

I’ve mentioned this under one of nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg posts.

No problems at all over here...

Same here

Same here. And Primal seams to only turn my iPhone into a molten brick of magma. I do like the “explore” tab on the web interface though.

It is 100% unusable for me. Won’t load anything.

That’s been working but buying sats has been failing.. again.

nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg FYI

Happening for me too

Same issues here. It was working when nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m posted about it earlier last week but I’ve also been running into the same issues recently

The relay at relay.primal.net is also getting a lot of spam, removed them from my relay list and I don't think there is a paid replacement. 🤷‍♂️

Same here. I’m back to Damus for the time being. Good to have both clients installed.

nostr:nprofile1qqsxfda5za00llhv8cfj48uazedc8hh6lzj3pz66uz7wh46uwv5z08qpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7ujd8nc 4 lyfe

can’t upload videos or many photos on Primal

I had the same issue. I started using nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7 to upload there and post links here. I hope this helps you as well.

nostrudel is the only decently working nostr web client

Same here.

same issues here.

Newbie here noticed the same a few times over the past couple of days. can we send from primal to cash app lightning address? Its not giving me option to put in amount to send out.

yes, we've been working on it. looking to deploy the fix soon.

Thanks sir 🫡

NtS (Note to Self) from the other day:

Once upon a time…

Iris would load on my phone in remote places where there was no cell/internet coverage - it was magical. At the time I could barely figure out how to change my profile

Pic - I actually made a jpeg because I read somewhere that was how to do it..Haha. It was a fail. Then came Damus and zaps and then primal. I didn’t download the primal app or sign up with an email but enjoyed the limited interface via web. Today primal web client stopped working well …

#Nostr has grown and evolved, and it is positive and inspiring and wicked cool to witness, but I’m grateful I entered the protocol early ….before it was leveed. I prefer the vast unknown ocean as rough as it was at time.

Bring back stuff that works when the internet and phone doesn’t ;)

Make anomalies great again

Yeah, I also noticed the tagging issue on Primal's desktop

Works fine here

I see many notes like this in Damus too. I figured it’s because the npub has me muted… if I click on them, sometimes I can read it, sometimes I cannot. In other news, over on #damus , if I click on an emoji response to like or whatever, it will not transmit on many notes. I have to click on the text of said note, then my emoji response will almost always transmit. I absolutely refuse to start tagging Will about it tho. My issue is does not signify, yours does.

Same happened to me.

But beside that, I have this simple question. When logging in the first time on a new platform, in my case I was first on amethyst and now I started with primal, it is very strange to enter my private key in a platform which I do not know/trust yet. In my opinion I should never be forced to trust any platform. The private key security is the most important thing of this whole cool nostr thing. There must be a more secure on boarding way than what I had to do, to inspect their GitHub code repository, for the average Joe this is impossible to verify. And in my case I was only able to do it for the web version and not for the Android app. So what are your comments on this nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr or primal devs? Are there any plans for improving this. At least you should mention that issue when people are on the page where they enter there private key. Are there any NIPS for the process of starting with an existing npub/nsec on a new platform?

Primal can be used with an extension on pc browser. Not sure but you can probably also use amber app on android.

Same here…

using primal, i'm seeing only 6 out of the currently 64 replies to this

Same has been happening for me.

I had lots of this starting with Primal in August. Also unable to follow anyone on Primal. I switched to ditto after trying a few other clients and everything seems to work on ditto.
